Thanks for the quotes, interesting stuff.
The Emergency Banking Act if 1933 was actually written up by the previous (Hoover) administration.
Roosevelt had only been president for four days when it was passed.
I'm not sure how easy the 'transfer of power' would have been. He would have had a few months since the election to get up to speed though.
